Video privacy by design

You decide who can watch your videos — whether it's an individual or a group of people. This prevents anyone without access from watching them. Go further with the Geo-Restriction feature, allowing or blocking video playback from certain regions only.

“We chose api.video for its intuitive console, usage-based pricing, and ability to support Adaptive Bitrate Streaming. Our previous vendor, Wistia, failed to support Adaptive Bitrate Streaming on mobile devices. The pricing is favorable to us as our costs decrease when the usages are high. I would recommend api.video to anyone looking to add videos to their application.”
